  1. Hi

    I am searching an easy guide to convert my AVI files to SVCD. I want to watch the SVCDs on a Pioneer DVD player. The AVI files were obtained by Ulead Movie Factory from a Panasonic DV camera NV-EX1 via FireWire.
    I saw some guides converting Divx files to SVCD using CCE but I am not sure if this is the right way.
    Anyone knows a good link or has their own experience?

    thanks

  3. We need more information to help. Do you want to burn your SVCD files to CDR or DVDR? Are you looking for maximum quality or trying to fit as much film as possible in one disk?

    Anyway, you will need CCE or TMPGenc to encode your avi´s to mpg2.

  4. well, i like to have a guide showing me how to make a SVCD from the a film in the DV-cam from scratch including best capture methods and best quality in relation to a sensible size! so from DV-CAM 2 PC, from PC 2 SVCD well the encoding process u could skip because there are other guides here about that but actually preparing the DV-film for svcd encoding is the thing i am totally unaware about!
    do u need more information?

  5. Assuming you want to burn to CD´s and get maximum quality, just select with TMPGenc the SVCD template (Pal or NTSC), load your avi file and encode. Final result will be an mpg2 file that you can burn to CD with Nero or similar software. This will give you around 35 minutes of film in one standard disk.

    DV Video tends to be clean as far as noise is concerned. There isn't much you need to do to it to encode. It's interlaced, bottom field first. Leave it that way. If your AVI is Type-1, and depending on how old your version of CCE is, you may need to convert it to Type-2 DV. There are freeware converters in the TOOLS section.

    Other than suggesting Multipass VBR, and possibly using CVD resolutions to maximize your bitrate, there isn't much 'prep' work to be done. Since your using CCE, ensure you use the Alternate block scanning order (for interlaced video). Search the forum for 'cam' and 'matrix'. Someone posted a Cam specific matrix that's supposed to perform well.
